If the life-affirming truths of REAL cut deep to the core, it's likely because they are expressed in simple, powerful words. And this is the magic of Inoue's scripting: that he does not try to make a deep series sound deeper than it needs to be, that he doesn't force the characters into putting on melodramatic airs. They just go about their business saying things that people in their situation might say, whether it's Takahashi trying to make sense of his life or Nomiya trying to convince his peers. The best lines are often the simplest ones—a fact that is brought out in this straightfoward but eloquent translation. Japanese signs and symbols in the artwork are handled subtly with translations in between panels, but sound effects are more conspicuously edited as English text replaces the original characters outright.
